Ingredients

  • 2½ pounds russet potatoes (2 to 3 large potatoes), peeled and cut into large chunks
  • Low-sodium vegetable broth
  • Sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Place potatoes in a large saucepan. Add vegetable broth to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Reduce heat to medium and cook, uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and drain off all but ½ cup of any remaining vegetable broth. (Reserve the drained off broth.)
